High Angle Driveshaft Help

[Woody Long]

I called Jess at HAD and Steve at AZD for quotes and to see what I need now that I have some $$$ for this.

HAD told me that my front shaft will be $898 alone!! I keep seeing you guys say that a front shaft costs about $300. AZD quoted me for $525 for the front shaft, but this is the Bad Boy Jr.

Am I doing something wrong? Could I have given them the wrong angles and numbers?

I have a Dana 44 SOA front, and a shackle flip AMC 20 rear with the 63" Chevy leafs. My front tube slope (yoke to yoke) is 25~26 deg's and the rear is 19 deg.

Is this different than what other people have in this application?


What should I be looking for?

Last summer I ordered up a front shaft with the 1-ton CV and 1410 yoke for the front D60; ended up just under $800. Maybe say you heard of him on the Pirate board; sometimes he gives a discount for people from that board.

I also got three 1410 yokes for the axles and TC and a rear driveshaft with the .120 wall tubing. Glad I went with that tubing, as I candy-striped the shaft last-time out while resting on a rock, and it held up fine for the long drive home.

I would have to meassue the angles but I have a HAD front and rear drive shaft. Expensive but worth every cent.

You want to play hard you need hard gear...this equals expensive :eek: :eek:

strength costs. theres no way around that, unles of course you do it yourself.

i had a high angle front shaft from arizona driveline, a standard cv that was clearenced. this was about $350. the bad boy cv is more then that.

the shaft worked on a soa w/ 4" lift w/ no binding at full flex.
